Chocolate Rice Krispie Balls

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Rice Krispies cereal
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil or shortening (optional, for smoother chocolate)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter and softened butter until smooth and creamy.
  2. Add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the Rice Krispies cereal until evenly coated.
  4. Scoop out small portions and roll into bite-sized balls. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  5. Chill the balls in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, or until firm.
  6. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate chips (and coconut oil, if using) in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth.
  7. Using a fork or toothpick, dip each ball into the melted chocolate to coat completely.
  8. Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
  9. Refrigerate for another 15–20 minutes, or until the chocolate is set.
  10. Enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
